May 17, 2016 — Draft bill text released by House Appropriations Committee.

As Congress finishes last year's budget process and plans ahead for next year's spending, it's critical that local cities play an active part in the process.
That's why RPA is asking you to write your local Mayor's office and recruit them in the campaign for better train service for all Americans!

As part of the President's Infrastructure and budget proposals released this week, the White House has called for the virtual elimination of Amtrak's National Network to help "pay for" $200 billion in grants. Eliminating the National Network will cause 220 communities will lose service and over 140 million riders will be left at the station.
The President must hear from everyday Americans about how important these service are. Take action today!

As Congress finishes last year's budget process and plans ahead for next year's spending, it's critical that train passengers play an active part in the process.
That's why RPA is asking you to call your elected officials in Congress as part in our 2018 campaign to build a safer, more reliable rail network. Join us in working for better train service for Americans!
